Isekai: The Eight Soul Fragments

Chapter 290: Epilogue 2: Interest in Power



Draxus is currently on a rampaging streak of victories in his duels. He was able to take a lead score against Remuel and Arlesk for once in his life after winning twice in a row against them, and even winning against the Sentinels without a scratch for a few days straight.

However what was shocking to them was he was able to break through Harold's [Simulation Trap].

Harold and Serkyrio are now discussing about Draxus' capabilities, Harold was especially curious as to how Draxus was able to dismantle the [Simulated Universe] Harold had sent him down on. "So how exactly does his new soul's abilities, being Atmosphere and Energy break through my ability?" Harold was stumped as he had also grew rapidly during the times Draxus was in the operation. With him now being able to hold a [Simulated Universe] trap for over one full hour. His growth was nothing short of terrifying, but Draxus showed a massive breakthrough with not having four purified souls active, having half of his complete power come back. "Well Draxus for one still only has half of his true capabilities. And he has shown that he can manifest his complete form... Well not really complete [Prime Form] but you know what I mean." Serkyrio gave a vague answer to Harold's curiosity, eventually making the answer clearer as he continued to ask Serkyrio about it. "So you mean that his [Theory Magic] can now dismantle my [Simulated Universes]?" "Yes, he's likely observing the formula you use for the [Simulated Universe]. And then he could reverse the entire theory which would nullify your magic completely since you know, a positive and a negative charge results to complete neutrality. As for the [Prime Form], it's basically a warning sign that he can now make use of the power of more than three souls, practically half of his power. It happened prematurely due to the slight awakening of his memories during October. However, now that he has half of the souls in control He can manifest the [Prime From] instead of manifesting the individual souls using [Moonlit Memory]. It's a magic that evolved from the activation of Moonlit Memory. Which is why he no longer needs the old [Fortune Cards]. I upgraded it all to be the [World Breaker] cards since he has become much stronger since then. Just so you know, once Remuel and Arlesk awakens their true memory, they would be able to do the same to your [Simulated Universes]." "So them as well? Let me ask this then. What is your true identity Serkyrio? Not as the [God of Administrator]. Because I can sense much more from you after you had awakened me. And what is your true intention for this world?" As Harold asked his question out of curiosity, Serkyrio simply smiled as he told him the truth about everything. Harold was completely shocked, Serkyrio's true identity was not something he had expected. He disclosed Remuel and Arlesk's true identities as well to him. "Now I see... But with that, you could easily just squash the entirety of the [God of Dominion]'s plans right?" "Yes, but well... That's not really my job. My true job involves the [Prime Existence]. And for my intentions, I want to make sure this [Universe] survives after the [Prime]'s test. You'll be standing at the very top of this universe when the time comes Harold. You were quite close with one of the souls after all." Harold's eyes widened in shock. "So you really do know everything." "Yes, you were the right hand man of the most dangerous soul. After his defeat, you reversed your age, tracked the souls and only found Draxus, reversed and aligned your age to be part of his group, and sealed your memories in a timer. I'm sure you're also aware of my actions right?" Harold was speechless for a moment as Serkyrio described what he had done. "Yeah..." After a few moments he affirmed it. "You did the same thing, but you directed everything instead. When I saw that the fate of Draxus will be to face the [God of Dominion], I immediately went to take the role of keeping everything on hold behind him. We faced the [God of Dominion], but when I saw him get dispersed into nothingness, I knew that I had to escape." Serkyrio smiled at Harold's confession. "I'll ensure that Draxus gets his revenge against the [God of Dominion]." He showed a resolute expression. "If an incomplete soul was able to inflict so much damage to it, Draxus who will slowly merge with every soul can." Serkyrio and Harold then continued their conversation until the secretaries entered his office.

Draxus was discussing about the abilities of Josh to Remuel and Arlesk who were curious as he had something that could potentially cause great destruction to the world. "[World Ender] sounds quite dangerous indeed. Since it is a power with limitless potential that can just end everything you can do. You can end a world, you can end a person's life, even the rotation of the world in its planetary axis." Remuel spoke about his concern on Josh's capabilities, which led to Arlesk asking Draxus why he was able to counter him completely. "Oh? Because I simply merged the cycle into a steady state." Arlesk was confused at Draxus' answer as he pretty gave nothing to work on for them. Draxus then began explaining. "His ability focuses mostly at the end of the cycle. He can forcefully bring the end of the cycle of anything. Even before something begins, he can immediately end it. However, I simply merged the beginning and the end of the cycle into a steady state. Meaning, there was no beginning, and therefore, there is no end. The boundaries of both will ensure that Josh will not be able to cast any abilities. Yes, even the ability to name someone and say die like that one garbaug'e isekai anime that showed up recently. I fix the cycle into a steady state for however long I want and constantly make him suffer. But also because he may be able to just name me and say [End]... I already have my Beginning and End merged, so I will perpetually be a young adult now. Remuel is also practically immortal now right?" "Yeah... I kinda get it now. So he's still basically useless against most of us still. He could be pretty handy for fighting the council, but he lacks experience greatly." "Right, he can't even last a few minutes against me..." "Arlesk... You're a dueling demon, you know that right?" Draxus reminded Arlesk that duels against him is almost impossible. The three of them did laugh for a few moments. "Oh right, Drax wanna play some TCG a bit? You got free time right?" "Yeah, I did build up a cringe deck recently, I want to give it a test against yours." The conversation shifted again into something else as Draxus and Remuel went to the [Entertainment District] and played on one of the new sets of tables in the [Game Zone]. Arlesk joined them in case they forget the rules in the heat of the moment.
